Labyrinth sequel

I heard a while back about the possibility of a Labyrinth sequel. Has anyone heard anything more about it?

The labyrinth sequel was not so much a fake, but rather the construct of 'Chinese Whispers'
An english student at some university had drafted up a basic plot overview (a good few pages worth including some scenes in detail) and cast list, and was required to produce concept artwork for a project. Naturally as soon as this found it's way to the internet it became distorted, misquoted, rehosted, and repeated etc ad infinitum.
Soon enough there was a huge clamour about a Labyrinth sequel, unfortunately all founded on the online equivant of 'hot air'.

Thanks- that's what I figured, given lack of reputable sources, but I thought it was worth asking.

You can however still see bits of it on the way-back-machine. (minus unfortunately the good stuff since the machine doesn't store those)

And the summary at the bottom : http://www.mistymills.com/writing.html
Ok, I got a few of the finer points wrong, but the base premise was correct :)
